The analysis is limited to refinancing operations and minimum reserve policy. Monetary policy with a green bias, while being controversially discussed, is meanwhile widely accepted and partly realised by the ECB. With respect to sustainability in a broader sense, however, the ECB could - and should - do more. In this context, two proposals are presented as to how - in line with the mandate and the statute of the European System of Central Banks - a non-neutral monetary policy towards sustainability could be designed.

This study offers a survey on the state of the art of factor timing in asset management and presents the main approaches discussed in the finance literature as well as empirical evidence on the performance of factor timing investment strategies. It becomes obvious that factor timing is much older than first assumed and that there is a diverse collection of approaches. In addition, empirical results on the economic benefits are conflicting. On the one hand, factor timing has the potential to generate economic wealth for long-term oriented institutional investors. On the other hand, high turnover and high transaction costs might limit returns. Furthermore, available data and literature are scarce, leading to challenges in comparing studies. These different perspectives are driving the debate in the finance literature.
